Lady Gaga has removed her collaboration with R. Kelly from all streaming platforms in light of sexual abuse allegations made against the rapper, telling fans that she "stands behind" the alleged victims "1,000 percent."

In a candid message shared on Twitter, Lady Gaga confirmed that her 2013 single "Do What U Want (With My Body)" would no longer be available on iTunes or other services, calling her thinking behind the song "twisted."

The singer's response follows the premiere of the Lifetime documentary "Surviving R. Kelly," in which several women made sexual abuse allegations against the 52-year-old R&B star.

In her statement to fans, Lady Gaga shared her own experience of sexual assault before apologizing for not addressing the allegations against her former collaborator earlier.

Calling the claims against R. Kelly "horrifying and indefensible," Lady Gaga also added: "I'm sorry, both for my poor judgment when I was young, and for not speaking out sooner. I love you."

Read Lady Gaga's full statement below:

"I stand behind these women 1000 percent, believe them, know they are suffering and in pain, and feel strongly that their voices should be heard and taken seriously. What I am hearing about the allegations against R Kelly is absolutely horrifying and indefensible.

"As a victim of sexual assault myself, I made both the song and video at a dark time in my life, my intention was to create something extremely defiant and provocative because I was angry and still hadn't processed the trauma that had occurred in my own life. The song is called 'Do What U Want (With My Body)', I think it's clear how explicitly twisted my thinking was at the time.

"If I could go back and have a talk with my younger self I'd tell her to go through the therapy I have since then, so that I could understand the confused post-traumatic state that I was in – or if therapy was not available to me or anyone in my situation – to seek help, and speak as openly and honestly as possible about what we've been through.

"I can't go back, but I can go forward and continue to support women, men, and people of all sexual identities, and of all races, who are victims of sexual assault. I have demonstrated my stance on this issue and others many times throughout my career.

"I share this not to make excuses for myself, but to explain. Til it happens to you, you don't know how it feels. But I do know how I feel now.

"I intend to remove this song off of iTunes and other streaming platforms and will not be working with him again. I'm sorry, both for my poor judgment when I was young, and for not speaking out sooner. I love you."

R. Kelly has repeatedly denied all abuse allegations against him, including those made in the "Surviving R. Kelly" miniseries.
